Didn’t know working with a lawyer could be this refreshing. I can’t say enough great things about Berry Law in Lincoln, NE. Our experience was so different than what we had expected in working with a lawyer. Carey took the necessary time to affirm and explain how we were justified in our situation. He defended us and encouraged us every step of the way. He was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. We would give more than five stars if possible.

A+ WORK. I am beyond grateful for the support I received from Barry Law. From the very first moment, they truly stood by my side and handled everything with such care and professionalism. It wasn’t just about legal expertise—though that was top-notch—it was the genuine compassion they showed. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or anxious, they were always there to calm my nerves and reassure me. It’s rare to find a lawyer who not only fights for you but also makes you feel understood and cared for throughout the process.

I had a wonderful experience working with Carey Collingham at Berry Law for 2 personal injury claims! He made me feel supported and heard. Carey listened to my experiences, thoroughly guided me through my options, and always had a clear plan of action. Carey is very personable and professional. I felt that he truly cared about my claims and my well-being. Having a personal injury can make you feel out of control, but Carey made me confident that he would take care of the claims which made me feel less overwhelmed. I could not recommend Carey enough! He fought hard to ensure that I received the compensation I deserved, and I could not be happier about the outcomes of my claims!

How Long Do You Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
The timeframe for filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit varies by state.
Failing to file within the statute of limitations could result in losing your right to compensation. Since special circumstances can shorten or extend these deadlines, it’s critical to speak with a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Motorcycle Accident?
A motorcycle accident lawyer in Nebraska or Iowa can help you recover damages for a wide range of losses, including:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage and motorcycle repair
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Our team has extensive experience handling cases involving traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, road rash, and other severe trauma. We’re committed to pursuing the full compensation you need to recover.
What Are the Consequences of a Motorcycle Accident?
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating, even at low speeds. Riders may be thrown from their bikes, crushed between vehicles, or forced into fixed objects. These crashes often result in broken bones, joint injuries, amputations, spinal cord damage, and sometimes death.
Despite helmets and protective gear, motorcyclists are uniquely vulnerable. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries, our legal team is ready to step in and fight for your future.
Who May Be Held Liable for a Motorcycle Crash?
Liability for a motorcycle accident depends on the details of the case. Responsible parties may include:
- The negligent driver who caused the crash
- A vehicle or parts manufacturer (in the case of mechanical failure)
- A maintenance shop or dealership that performed faulty repairs
Our attorneys will investigate the circumstances and pursue all responsible parties, even including product liability claims when necessary.
Wrongful Death in Motorcycle Accidents
When a motorcyclist tragically dies due to someone else’s negligence, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. This type of claim is typically filed by a representative of the decedent’s estate and may recover:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs prior to death
- Loss of companionship and support
- Emotional pain and suffering
Our wrongful death attorneys can guide your family through this painful process and help you seek justice and financial relief.
Minimum Insurance Requirements in Nebraska
In Nebraska, motorcycle riders are required to carry minimum liability insurance:
- $25,000 for bodily injury per person and $50,000 per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
Some policyholders may opt for higher limits. If you’re unsure whether a settlement offer covers your losses, our attorneys can review your policy, speak with adjusters, and represent you in negotiations or court.
What Determines the Value of a Motorcycle Accident Case?
The value of your motorcycle accident case depends on several factors:
- The severity of your injuries
- The length and cost of medical treatment
- The impact on your ability to work
- The emotional and physical toll of the accident
A successful claim may include both economic damages (like hospital bills and lost wages) and non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering). Our legal team will assess the full scope of your losses and pursue the maximum compensation available.
